Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia

The True Meaning of Pictures (CC)
Saturday, October 28, 2006 - 10:00 p.m. on TVOntario
presented by The View from here
Do Shelby Lee Adams' photographs of Eastern Kentucky's mountain communities reinforce "hillbilly" stereotypes, or simply document a way of life? A film by Jennifer Baichwal.

The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia
(a movie review)

TAKE ONE,  March-May, 2003  by Kathleen Cummins

2002 75m prod Mercury Films, p Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, d Jennifer Baichwal, ph Nicholas de Pencier, ed David Wharnsby, s Jane Tattersall; with Shelby Lee Adams, the Childer family, the Nappier family, the Riddle family, Hort Collins, Dwight Billings, A.D. Coleman, Vicki Goldberg, Wendy Edward, Mary Ellen Mark.

"You photograph the natural life, but you also, by your juxtaposition of detail, create an interpretation of it." John Grierson

"I'm pushing you, the viewer, and challenging you. That's why I'm in there with the camera six inches away from Selena's face. I think you need to he confronted with that. By getting in there with the camera, by creating some distortions, I'm hoping to make everyone think. What is our job here as a human being? Stop making judgments and experience life. I'm experiencing this environment. I'm trying to share with you, in an intimate way, that experience." Shelby Lee Adams

Jennifer Baichwal's The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia is an uncompromising exploration into the controversial work of enigmatic American photographer, Shelby Lee Adams, well known for his photographs of the people of Appalachia, Kentucky. However, by way of Baichwal's structural skills, the film manages to transcend the cliches of the biopic formula so that Adams emerges as a fascinating case study for issues central to the politics and ethics of ethnography. Essentially, Baichwal's film is an exploration into the process of the construction of point--of--view. This is achieved with subtlety, restraint and critical rigour.

QUELQUES NOTES BIOGRAPHIQUES

Vous êtes un photographe professionnel ? Chaque fois qu’on me pose cette question, ma réponse est toujours la même : la photographie est ma passion, pas mon gagne-pain !

Quel plaisir j’ai eu dans les années 70 à me renfermer dans ma chambre noire improvisée pour en sortir plusieurs heures plus tard avec des épreuves en noir et blanc des premières images que j’ai réalisé comme enfant avec la fameuse boîte noire de ma mère Irène.

En 1966, à seize ans, j’ai achété mon premier appareil 35mm (Minolta rangefinder). Je me préparais pour mon départ vers Vancouver – voyage effectué dans le cadre d’un voyage-échange organisé pour souligner les fêtes du centenaire de la confédération canadienne en 1967.

En 1972, j’ai acheté un autre appareil 35mm, cette fois un Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II. J’ai fait de la photo avec ma bonne vieille Pentax pendant quasiment trente ans. Il va sans dire que mes quatre enfants (Stéphane Delisle, Maxime, Mélanie et Catherine Poulin-Delisle, qui ont entre 19 à 33 ans) ont souvent été mes cobayes ! Stéphane, mon plus vieux, à son tour, a fait des photos de moi lorsqu’il avait à peine 5 ans.

En 2001, j’ai eu ma piqûre pour la photographie numérique quand je me suis porté volontaire comme photographe officiel des célébrations du 25e anniversaire du Service de santé mentale du maintenant célèbre Hôpital Montfort à Ottawa, où je demeure. C’est avec Corel Photo-Paint que j’ai manipulé ces photos et que j’ai fait la découverte du monde fantastique de la chambre noire numérique.

A l’automne de 2003, j’ai me suis procuré le NikonD100, un appareil numérique SLR avec lequel je travaille exclusivement depuis. Mon travail en ‘chambre noire’ se fait maintenant avec le logiciel Photoshop.

Pendant toutes ces années, mes photos ont été pour moi un véhicule utilisé pour raconter le monde autour de moi : ma famille, mes enfants, ma communauté, etc. A date, outre ma famille et mon cercle d’ami(e)s, peu de gens ont vu mon travail.

Autodidacte depuis toujours, j’accepte enfin que je suis un artiste et que j’ai le droit de m’appeler ainsi. Santé oblige, je ne travaille plus à plein temps. J’en profite donc pour accorder à ce médium tout le temps qu’il faut pour exprimer ma passion. Je suis bien déterminé à m’afficher et partager davantage que je l’ai fait auparavant. Il va sans dire, j’ai encore plein de choses à apprendre; et je souhaite de pouvoir continuer à le faire jusqu’à mon dernier souffle.

Par la photographie, j’alimente cette passion de me dire, d’explorer, de mieux comprendre et de partager. Les images que j’ai réalisés au fil des ans et que je continue à réaliser, sont pour moi une fenêtre, des clins d’œil sur le monde et la vie, un monde que je raconte tel que je le perçois, avec trippes et avec mon coeur.

Ce travail de création est teinté par qui je suis, par les nombreux défis que la vie me présente dans mon quotidien. Merci à ma famille et à mes proches car ma démarche de photographe est nourrie par ceux-ci. L’intérêt et le soutien continu de mes quatre enfants et de toutes les autres personnes qui occupent une place importante dans ma vie sont précieux. Enfin, le soutien, l’entraide et la camaraderie qui existe entre mes amis qui sont photographes et les membres des clubs de photographie dont je suis membre, tout ça est rafraichissant et énergisant.

---

Je suis né en 1950 à Welland, dans le sud de l' Ontario, plus spécifiquement dans la péninsule du Niagara. Mes parents, des Québécois d’origine, sont déménagés à Welland pendant les années quarante.

J'ai fait mes études primaires et secondaires dans les écoles francophones de Welland, toutes publiques à l'époque.

Pendant les années 70, j'ai travaillé comme animateur social en Ontario français (
Direction-Jeunesse, Sécrétariat d'État du Canada, Association canadienne-française de l'Ontario),

J'ai aussi travaillé dans le nord de l'Ontario : pour le Centre de développement de l'enfance et de la jeunesse, situé à Kapuskasing; et aussi pour CBON, la radio française de Radio-Canada dans le Nord de l'Ontario.

Plus tard, j’ai travaillé comme coordonnateur régional des services en français et ensuite superviseur de programmes au bureau du
Ministère des services sociaux et communautaires de l'Ontario à Hamilton. Plus récemment, j’ai été le réprésentant de l’Ombudsman de l’Ontario à Timmins dans le nord-est de l’Ontario.

Autodidacte, grand curieux maintenant à la retraite, depuis trois ans, j’accorde de plus en plus de temps à ma passion la photographie.

Mes photos reflètent souvent mes autres passions et intérêts : mes quatre enfants (18 à 32 ans), la santé mentale et la croissance personnelle, les relations hommes-femmes et intergénérationelles, l’Ontario français, les collages, le cinéma, les médias et les nouvelles technologies, la lecture, la simplicité volontaire, les relations interculturelles, la cuisine, le cyclisme, le plein air, le jardinage, le bricolage, etc.

Outre mon travail comme photographe, je présente à l’occasion des causeries sur mon vécu avec la dépression.

A FEW NOTES ABOUT ME

When out in the community with my camera, I am often asked: Are you a professional photographer? My response is always the same: Photography is my passion, not my job. In the 70s, I spent many hours in my improvised darkroom making black and white prints from negatives of photographs I made as a child using my mother’s good ‘ol black box camera.

In 1966, when I was sixteen, I bought my first 35 mm camera (a Minolta rangefinder) and travelled by the train to
Vancouver with a group of St. John Ambulance cadets, thanks to a travel exchange program organized to celebrate Canada’s centenary in 1967.

In 1972, I purchased another 35mm camera, this one a SLR, the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II. That camera was my faithful companion for almost 30 years. My four children, Stéphane Delisle and Maxime, Mélanie and Catherine Poulin-Delisle, were often haunted by dad towing his camera and wanting to make some photos of them. Stéphane, my oldest, was only five when he took his first photos of me using his father’s Pentax . In 1999, Stéphane moved to
Vancouver and took the Pentax with him. Photography is an inter-generational thing, that is for sure.

In 2001, I made my first digital images as the official photographer for the 25th anniversary of
Montfort Hospital’s Mental Health Program. In 2003, I acquired a NikonD100, a digital SLR, and now work exclusively with that wonderful tool, along with Photoshop in the digital ‘’darkroom’’.

When I describe my work, I often use the theme Le monde tel que je le perçois, the world as I see it. I am fascinated by people and the world we live in. I have things to say about myself, my family and friends, my community, etc. that I can’t fully express except through my photography.

When I have my camera in my hands, I feel alive and able to communicate my joys, my fears and those of the places and people I cross paths with when I decide at a very specific moment to press the shutter release.

Now retired, most of my time is spent on photography. W
ith the support and encouragement of my children, family and friends, the passionate artist in me is exploring and expressing himself. My tools: a NikonD100 and and version 7, Photoshop software. My photographic journey is made more pleasant by rubbing shoulders with the members of two photography clubs, one in Ottawa, the other in Gatineau.

I was born in the City of Welland, located in the Niagara Peninsula, in the southern part of Ontario, Canada, near the American border. I spent the first twenty years of my life in my home town, except for a one- year stint in Montréal in1967, when I was 17.

During the seventies, I worked as a community development worker within Ontario's French-speaking community. During five years, I was a Social Development Officer at the Department of Secretary of State (now Heritage Canada). I also worked in Sudbury for CBON, a radio station with the French-language service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Later, I worked in Hamilton, with the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, first as the area office's French-language Services Coordinator and then as a Program Supervisor. More recently, I worked in Timmins for Ombudsman Ontario.

Now retired, I spend as much time as possible exploring my passion with photography.

My photos reflect my wide range of interests: my four children (aged 19 to 33), my interest in the arts, graphics, collages, media, cycling, mental health, the French-speaking community in Canada, cinema, new technologies, reading, simplicity living, cooking, the outdoors, gardening, woodwork, etc.

I regularly accept invitations to speak about my personal experience with depression.

Tunick snaps nudes by British quayside

Last Updated Mon, 18 Jul 2005 11:02:35 EDT  -  CBC Arts
 

More than 1,500 people travelled to northern England this weekend to pose nude for photographer Spencer Tunick's latest outdoor photo shoot.

The New York photographer has hosted similar installations in the U.S., Brazil and Belgium. The series, to be entitled Naked City, is his first large-scale installation in the U.K.

The early Sunday morning shoot began in Gateshead, where participants disrobed in a parking lot. They posed quayside both in Gateshead and in Newcastle, having crossed the Millennium Bridge over the River Tyne.

The Mirror Project

www.mirrorproject.com

The Mirror Project began life as the awkwardly titled "Friends of Jezebel's Mirror," or FOJM, an adjunct site to Heather Champ's Jezebel's Mirror in October '99.

FOJM relaunched as the Mirror Project in June of 2001 with just over seven hundred contributions. Thousands of people from around the world continue to support the The Mirror Project by capturing photographs of themselves in all manner of reflective surfaces.

Why reflective self-portraiture?

This interview that Heather did with O, the Oprah Magazine might shed some light on the matter.

Photographers for Social Responsibility (USA)

"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera"

--Dorothea Lange

 

Photographers for Social Responsibility was started by a group of concerned American photographers to create awareness and cultural understanding using the camera as an instrument of reform, cultural insight, and creative expression.

 

The goal of the organization is to form partnerships, an exhibit network, and to document the experiences of peoples throughout the world. We are committed to showing the hardship and injustice truthfully, fairly and forcefully, and moving people to respond. PFSR also helps photographers to develop sustainable professional careers and to provide a forum to express ideas, opinions, and concerns using the medium of photography.

We hope to bring to the forefront issues of social inequalities, show respect for different cultures, and to effect change through dialog and action. Through individual photo essays PFSR photographers confront global issues such as: child labor, human trafficking, refugees, children of war, and border issues.

In the tradition of concerned photographers, past and present, as well as contemporary photographers working in documentary photojournalism, we hope to further the debate on issues of social justice and provide a network of dedicated photographers to work toward social change.

PFSR GOALS & OBJECTIVES:

  • Foster Relationships with NGO's, Aid Groups, and Associations Worldwide.
  • Create a Network of Dedicated and Professional Photographers.
  • Provide a Forum to Discuss Social Issues.
  • Host Educational Events, Workshops, & Seminars.
  • To Exhibit as a Collective, and Provide Opportunities for Member Photographers.
If you would like additional information, provide financial support, or join PFSR please contact Chris Cain at chriscainphoto@yahoo.com

PhotoSensitive

www.photosensitive.com

Brief History
The brainchild of Toronto Star photographer Andrew Stawicki and former Star graphics editor Peter Robertson, PhotoSensitive was founded in 1990 as a non-profit collective of photographers determined to explore how photography can contribute to social justice. Their idea was to bring together the photographic talents of a number of Toronto-based professional photographers to harness the power of the camera to achieve social goals. Each photographer would bring his or her own vision to the subject; the sum of these visions would provide a compelling social comment.

Today PhotoSensitive is branching out to include the talents of photographers from across Canada and seeks to photograph issues that affect our social well-being.

The work of PhotoSensitive is defined by the following characteristics:

Social Issues
PhotoSensitive projects focus on realities with which North Americans are familiar including poverty, hunger, illness, racism, ignorance, injustice. But it concentrates, too, on their antidotes: the hope found in the face of adversity, the laughter and love that make the difficulties of life tolerable, the simple pleasures that lightens dark lives. The photographers use the camera's ability to tell a story, make social comment, and spur viewers to action.

Black and White
PhotoSensitive believes that still photographs, especially in black and white, have a way of touching people in a unique way. By working exclusively in black and white, the photographers force viewers to concentrate on the image rather than the photograph.

Voluntary
Photographers who contribute to PhotoSensitive projects as volunteers, giving their time to photography that falls outside their professional work.
